Beef Hanging Weight Price Per Pound 2018
We offer a variety of packages for purchasing in bulk, anything from one large box to a full freezer worth of our Farm Fresh Beef. Below is an average of what you would be paying for and what you would be taking home.
Our pricing may vary when compared to other farms. We are in the business of producing top quality AAA Beef and nothing less. What you pay here will be reflected in the quality and care of our beef, and the wonderful eating experience that you are about to enjoy.
We base our pricing on the hanging weight of the animal. (The hanging weight is taken after the head, hide, feet and organs have been removed).Take home meat varies depending on the length of dry age. If your beef is cut at 14 days it will yield the most. If we continue to age up to 30 days, it will shrink ~8% each week. Quality increases as beef is aged longer. We like to age for 21 days, it is a happy medium.

- The diagram above is not an accurate depiction of our homegrown beef.
Our finished Beef are ~18-22 months old, so they are young healthy animals. It is our guarantee that they are additional hormone and antibiotic-free.
We finish our beef on our homegrown hay, grass (depending on the time of year), and locally grown barley.
Grass Finished Beef is offered only in mid-summer, July & August. These beef are slightly older at ~26-28 months as they take an extra year to grown and finish on grass.
